Carrie Soto is an amazing character. She shines through her imperfections - her stubbornness, her unrelenting ambition, her brutal honesty. Carrie is such a real character that she almost jumps off the page. Even in the moments that you absolutely hate Carrie, you still root for her.

Only drawback is that there is a lot of narration of tennis matches that just couldn't quite hold my interest. Otherwise, it was such a good novel!
